I glanced through most of the thread.

Surprised nobody said anything about Carlsberg, it's not the best, but definitely worth trying. Also, someone mentioned Optimator by Spaten. I second that. Can't go wrong with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Newcastle, or Guiness. Those are my regs. Guiness not so regular as it almost tastes too good, but it's not very alcoholic, also it's much much better on tap. If you like Guiness you've love Samual Smith's. Last night, I had this beer called Blue Moon. Harvey's in South Lake Tahoe is the only place I've seen it, but it was pretty good on tap. Oh yeah, its pretty hard to go wrong with any decent amber ale.

And by the way, the best Mexican beer is not Pacifico, two words: Negro Modelo.

And, Stella Artios is good but over-rated.

If you're on a budget, hit up the good old King Cobra, though technically it is a malt liquor. The High Life is cheap and not too bad either.
